He stands zero chance of being nominated or if nominated beating Obozo
So we are once again relegated to voting for someone we don't want as President. We vote FOR a candidate because we want the other candidate as President even LESS.Since he can't get the Republican nomination, he can only run as an independent. Running as an independent ensures Obama's election.
The thing you seem to never understand about politics is that there are huge blocks of voters that will NEVER vote your way. This requires any candidate who will ever be elected president to make compromises you are going to hate. This places you permanently on the fringe where the only thing you can do is be a spoiler, which ensures that the guy farthest from your views will be elected, which then provokes a series of ridiculous rationalizations that claim that all the candidates that compromise are the same as each other.
I like Ron Paul. I disagree with him only on the war(s). I'd vote for him if it made any sense. It just doesn't.

Why is he an anti-semite?
That's how it works and how it will always work. It can't work another way.
You guys seem to assume there's a whole bunch of people out there who agree with you. There's not. Since there's not, to become President, you have to appeal to a variety of people with widely varied viewpoints. You'll never get the President you want, because it doesn't work that way.
I think putting another Establishment Republican on the ballot in 2012 ensures Obama's election. I've laid my case for why Ron Paul can defeat Obama.
The Primaries are still months away. There is no defeat yet. He's still a contender. Moreso than he was 4 years ago. If all these polls and CPAC are any indicator, he's a strong contender. He's actually getting some media coverage. His GOP competition is more pathetic than ever. Obama has shown that Hope & Change means that nothing will change. Democrats are being inspired to vote for Ron Paul.
If you vote for anyone else in the primaries, you are ensuring an Obama victory.
That's how it works and how it will always work. It can't work another way.

Ron Paul Is A Vicious Anti-Semite and Anti-American and Conservatives Need To Wash Their Hands of Him | NewsReal BlogYes, I 'd like to know the answer to this, too.

I agree, though for potentially different reasons. I have noticed this;
1. Card carrying republicans will vote for the republican candidate.
2. Conservatives that consider themselves Tea Party, Libertarians, what have you will only vote for a candidate they like.
Ergo it makes more sense for the Republicans to nominate a candidate endorsed by the Tea Party/Libertarians/Whathaveyous becuase it is the best way to unite the various conservative factions and the party republicans will vote for anyone on the right side of the ballot.
I'm willing to give Paul a try. That being said, I have some thoughts. Sure, he's anti-war, which will make dems want to at least give him a passing glance. The part that will lose dems is when they look closer at Paul's philosophy on economic liberty and regulation. His words on these two subjects also mean, "Solve your own problems." That may sound like music to your and my ears, but it sounds like a funeral dirge to a democrat.
